iPhone 17 drop tests have indicated that the front glass can still fracture based on several elements, including the drop height and the composition of the impact area. Consequently, it’s advisable to utilize a screen protector with any of the three iPhone 17 variants or the iPhone Air. While Ceramic Shield 2 glass may offer enhanced durability, it is not impervious to shattering. Nevertheless, it appears that many iPhone 17 screen protectors may not be beneficial for your device, and the issue isn’t simply about their capacity to provide additional cushioning to avert damage. Recent studies by Astropad reveal that the majority of generic screen protectors available can negate another enhancement Apple incorporated into Ceramic Shield 2 glass: Anti-reflectivity.
Astropad produces its own anti-reflective (AR) screen protectors for the iPhone, covering the iPhone 17 series as well. The firm performed an experiment to investigate how the iPhone 17’s AR coating functions and the influence of screen protectors on it, discovering that a standard glass protector virtually eliminates the AR benefits of Ceramic Shield 2. The condensed result of the experiment indicates that Ceramic Shield 2 glass requires unimpeded exposure to air to provide users with those anti-reflective features. Applying any screen protector on top hinders this process. Unless the screen protector possesses its own AR attributes, like Astropad’s Fresh Coat, you will end up with a display that is somewhat more reflective than the iPhone 16 Pro’s screen.
